Chapter 137: The Resurrection Stone Arrives

Under Ios's investigation, the location of Gaunt's old mansion seems to be in Big Hangleton, about four or five miles away from Little Hangleton.

The Gaunts are undoubtedly a lineage handed down by the three Peverell brothers, just like the Potters, an ancient wizarding family. Proof of this is the ring with a black resurrection stone engraved with the Peverell coat of arms.

Of course, it is more of a Peverell coat of arms than a sign of the Deathly Hallows.

Anyway, he hadn't been to either Big Hangleton or Little Hangleton, so he couldn't use Phantom Shifting. Mirror teleportation is possible, but finding the mirror can be tricky.

So, the best thing to do is to use Floo powder.

After patting the dust on his clothes, he found that he couldn't seem to clean it at all, and he directly used a spell, and his whole body was clean.

After casting an oblivion spell on a stunned old couple in the room, he left the house with a fireplace of his choice. After asking random people in the neighborhood for directions, he found that he seemed to be off the rails.

Obviously, I was going to Big Hangelton, but I don't know why I came to Little Hangelton. It's only four or five miles, but it's still dangerous to use phantom shifting, and it's terrible to split up.

But it's already so close, the mirror teleportation can come in handy, and it shouldn't be difficult to find the glass facing the old Gaunt mansion, right?

After walking to a hidden place and planting an enchantment to expel Muggles, he summoned a silver mirror and began to search for a teleportable point near Gaunt's old house.

He thought it was a simple thing, but he forgot that he didn't remember what the old Gaunt mansion looked like, and only vaguely remembered that if it wasn't in ruins, it would have been a rather dilapidated house.

But... There are collapsed, grassy and broken houses everywhere!

In desperation, he had to teleport to a seemingly likely ruin, standing near the floor-to-ceiling window he had just walked out, he looked around and found that there were dilapidated everywhere, and there were not many residents.

"It's like a ghost town, and the faint of you don't dare to come here at night." After looking back and forth, he didn't find a few intact houses, and there were collapsed ruins and weeds everywhere, even the few remaining houses were old, and the dark hue gave it an eerie feeling, and Ios couldn't help but feel it.

But even if he is really ghostly, he is not afraid, I don't know how many Hogwarts have seen, so what will be afraid of a little eerie atmosphere here? He walked straight down the dirt path and began to search for the old Gaunt house.

It doesn't matter if you don't know it, since Voldemort hid the ring here, then he will definitely lay a powerful magic to protect it, he just needs to find the traces of magic that exist.

Spiritual power poured out, sweeping back and forth through the surrounding area, and then went to other places after finding no trace. It was in this programmed action that he really discovered a trace of unusual magic fluctuations.

Without the choice of apparition, with Voldemort heavily shielded, any rash move was not advisable. Didn't you see Dumbledore so strong, wouldn't you be able to take that dark magic too? He didn't want to capsize in the gutter here.

Drawing his wand, he approached the ruins step by step, and he could no longer see the original appearance of the mansion at all, only barren and dilapidated.

Of course, in the end, what is here is just some trap laid by Voldemort, and it is not worth making too much fuss. He wasn't even afraid of Voldemort himself coming to him, was he afraid of the trap he had laid?

However, since Dumbledore had nothing to do with the dark magic on the ring, he had to take into account the fact that other protective spells were also quite dangerous.

When he stepped on a certain place, he didn't know what magic was triggered, and Ios found that he suddenly couldn't move, and he couldn't even pronounce it, so he could only freeze in place.

At the same time, several black bands quickly wrapped around his limbs and body, and the gravel not far away trembled and slowly drew closer.

Soon, a stone figure nearly three meters tall appeared in front of him.

The black bands didn't stop moving, they swam down Ios's body, crawling up his neck, and finally wrapping his mouth around it.

As the stone man slowly approached him, raising his thick stone arm to crack him into a small cake, Ios finally acted.

A blue flame erupted from the tip of the wand, and the hot flames burned all the black belts directly, and Ios, who had recovered his mobility, aimed his wand directly at the stone man, and the next moment it was blown apart.

Ios, who was not too reassured, also mended the pieces a few times, and let them completely turn into powder before he stopped.

"Triple trap, first immobilize the incapacitation, then further restrain the intruder with those black belts, and finally rely on the stone man to kill with one blow. If it's not a wizard with high mana or a companion, there is almost no way to survive, which is quite subtle. However, it is more useful for trash fish. ”

Bound by a black belt, unable to pronounce spells, and unable to move their wands at all, most wizards have to wait for death in this situation. However, it is naturally impossible for top wizards like Ios and Dumbledore to die from such a small trick.

Ios, who had no consciousness at all that had just escaped from danger, commented directly on those traps, shaking his head from time to time, as if he was not very satisfied with these traps.

Continuing towards the center of the ruins, he triggered several more vicious magic traps, all of which he easily shattered.

Finally, he came to a place that felt quite special, and after a careful feeling, he crouched down and struck a tile with his wand, which immediately moved away, revealing a wooden box hidden underneath.

After taking out the wooden box and cracking the magic on it, Ios opened it, and sure enough, a ring with black stone lay quietly inside.

That's Voldemort's Horcrux, and it's also a resurrection stone.

Looking at the black stone with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on it, Ios knew that it was the Resurrection Stone, one of his long-standing goals, and the most important.

However, as much as he wanted to take it in his hands and take a closer look at it now, Ios resisted the urge to do so. There's a lot of black magic on it.

I finally found it, and it was not good to capsize in the last step of the gutter.

Ios closed the wooden box and left the place with a direct apparition, and then teleported back to Hogwarts through the mirror.
